"Your right Hikaru I think his heart might be going aflutter." Kaoru teased snaking around kyouyas other side.
"And I think you both are delusional." Kyouya said gruffly as he walked away from them getting closer to Tamaki and Nika to see what was going on.
"Mr. suoh Where do you want me to put your order?" Nika asked as she was tired of holding the boxes.
"Mori-sempai could you please free this damsel from her burden?" Tamaki asked with a sparkling smile.
Mori nodded and took the boxes out of Nika's hands and placed them on a table.
"Oh thank you sir. They were getting a bit heavy." Nika said bowing to mori.
"Ohh what's in here?" Hunny said on his tippy toes trying to peer in the boxes.
"Oh that is two boxes of the finest teas you'll ever taste. Now about my payment." Nika said in all seriousness.
"I bet they would taste all the finer from your lips." Tamaki said cupping Nikas face in her hands.
"Mr.suoh I am only here to deliver the tea now about my payment." Nika said backing away.
Tamaki grabbed her arm and pulled over to the desperately trying to turn invisible Kyoya who was at a window jotting down his revenge.
"Now I think you can talk about payment to kyouya-kun." Tamaki said pushing Nika towards him.
Nika and Kyouya locked eyes for a minute and Nika looked at Kyouya's outfit from his sandals to his ripped black jeans and white dress shirt that was opened just enough to leave something to the imagination. Kyouya noted this examination as he made a examination of his own noticing she was wearing a long white skirt with a black blouse that mirrored his own outfit, her hair was down the same way it was when they had met in the rain making Kyouya's heart throb a little unexpectedly.. He hoped that she would not tell the truth out of fear of the days to come of constant prodding.
"Oh mr. Ootori it is nice to see you again. I hope the tea you received was to your liking." Nika said bowing low trying to hide her blush.
"Yes it was ms.cho thank you so much for your services." Kyouya said with a his best host club smile as he thought "I like this girl"
"Hmm so this is what you call tea?" The twins said handing Nika a photo of her and Kyouya.
"Oh great how is she going to try to play that off?" Kyouya wondered to himself.
Nika paused before she said with a smile "I'm glad to see the pictures turned out how you expected mr.Ootori. Though I do not think that dress was very flattering on me."
" I like this girl..i like her a lot!" Kyouya thought as he stood up straight no longer trying to bury into the wall.
"So you knew I was fallowing you! And made this poor common maiden pose!" Tamaki yelled in shock.
"It was a very clever idea on mr. Ootori's part. He had told me while in the shop that a friend of his was fallowing him and trying to get incriminating evidence against him and asked if I would just go along with a ploy to make it seem all the worst. Though I must admit it was a very unusual request." Nika said with a slight blush still looking at the picture.
"Thank you Nika! Thank you so much!" Kyouya thought as he exchanged a look with Nika.
"It seems milord doesn't know when he's been dooped." The twins said ripping up the pictures, bored and going to serve some customers.
"Now mr. suoh about my payment: it comes to 9000 yen. Cash or check please." Nika said turning to the dumbfounded Tamaki her hand extended and a genuine smile on her face.
"9-9—9000 yen! How could common tea possibly be worth that much?" Tamaki asked which made Nika smile all the more.
" Um. Excuse me Miss…ter. But could you make this tea for me please?" Nika asked Haruhi who had come over on her way to dispose of the tea tray. Nika noticed the looks she was getting when she said "miss" and the uniform Haruhi was wearing so she quickly changed it to "mister."
"Sure I could." Haruhi said with a host club smile as she went in the back.
"Now mr. suoh before you try the tea I think It's only fair I explain why it cost so much." Nika said pulling out a calculator.
"The tea cost 200 yen per bag and seeing as you ordered one of all our 300 tea selections that equal 6000 yen, plus the overtime pay seeing as you called as we were closing which comes to 2000 yen, and then express delivery cost 1000 yen, I also should charge at least 1000 yen for your accosting by pulling me around and touching me without permission, so it seems your total is 10,000 yen. Hmm seems I was off by a thousand. And please don't forget to tip." Nika said long winded as she punched in the numbers and held her hand out.
"I-I-but—what?" Tamaki stuttered incomprehensibly.
"that's it I don't like this girl.. I love her!" Kyouya thought as he saw the pain on tamaki's face as he reached in his pocket.
"How do I even know if this tea is worth it?!" Tamaki yelled in all seriousness.
"Well try it for yourself." Nika offered as she motioned to Haruhi who had come back with the sweet aromatic tea that seemed to make Tamaki's mouth water.
"It's from our line of personality teas. This one is called "childlike prince of hearts" I judged by your temperament that you would enjoy it." Nika said tapping her chin.
Tamaki seemed somewhat offended but it wore away as Haruhi handed him the cup of the luscious red steaming liquid and he took a hesitant slip.
"How is it milord?" The twins asked in unison as everyone in the host club customers and host alike watched in awe.
"It's delicious. Like a young loves kiss under cherry blossoms with no one but you in the world." Tamaki said dreamily unknowingly glittering brightly making some customers swoon.
Kyouya quickly wrote down the name of that tea and decided that later he would use it as a booster for club profit.
"Now that you are pleased with our product I think it just that I receive my due payment." Nika said with a business like flair.
"O-oh of course! I wouldn't dare refuse such an enchanting young woman like yourself." Tamaki said with a grin that again made some girls swoon as he reached in his pocket and handed over the money.
"Thank you mr.suoh your custom is much appreciated and remember at terrific teas we always meet your needs!" Nika said as she counted the money and left the club giving Kyouya a wink.
Kyouya smirked and watched as everyone huddled over to the teas and Tamaki who was wooing girls left and right. He used their distraction to creep towards the entrance before Nika had left.
